A waltz by way of Mick

A 2x Bourrée

I think I've been playing the 3rd note in the 7th measure of the A incorrectly, but will amend my ways based on this transcription

Waltz by Mats Edén

A tune by Jon Swayne.

 A tune by Giles Chabenat

Often played slowly was a waltz it is 3x bourree and should be played with a 3-1 emphasis rather than a 1-2-3

Here is a recording

And a quick mandolin version

Set of 2x bourrées

In Aurore Sand it was collected as ending the A part both times on the tonic, however I(and others) usually end the first A on the 2nd, so that a 5 chord sounds good, and the second time end on the tonic. I've kept the notation as collected.

Two time bourrées. Notation to come.

A tune by Karl-Johan Ankarblom. 

By Marc Perrone.

Three polkas by Damien Mullane.  I got the first from a fb video of Will Allen and Rosie Butler-Hall. My friend Alina found the Damien video and transcribed all three.

This is a very fun and very pretty polska. The recording is Emelie Waldken. She starts slow, teaches it, and then plays it up to speed. The dots come from Aryeh Frankfurter, plus I added some sharps to make it match the way Emelie plays it.

A tune by way of a UK fb tuesday tune group. According  to Chava who has gone native over in Wales it means Battered cod pieces.

It is a fun tune which could precede or follow many a tune. It could go before Bonny Cate for example.

Here is multi instrument version.

An English tune some of us have been playing lately.

A schottische by Jean Blanchard & Bernard Blanc

Was hipped to this slow jig by Kevin Cloud.  It was composed by Annlaug Børsheim, a Norwegian folk musician (Hardanger fiddle, guitar, voice).

Just as I as looking for the next tune, Cliff posted this. I really enjoy the trio with Jon Swayne & Andy Cutting.

This transcription is Malaika's. There are lots of recordings of this on youtube. I liked this one because of the low whistle.

A French waltz

A tune from the Mendocino French repertoire.

And look, a video with familiar faces !

Tune by Chris Wood.  Goes nicely after Travellers' Joy.

The first tune is a well known Swedish polska, by Vikste-Lasse (Johan Leonard Larsson 1897 − 1983) a fiddler from Eklunda in Uppland, Sweden.  Here's some info about rhythm and chord variation for the B part : http://www.folkwiki.se/Musik/96

The second is a Finnish polska, written by Andy May. He's a Northumbrian piper in a band called Baltic Crossing, where some of the member are Finns. He wrote a 3/2 tune, and then was told by his band mates that it was a Finnish polska.

I'm sure I've heard both tunes before but this video from Sidmouth Folk Festival put them in my consciousness. The friend who hipped me to it said "it is worth the listen for the sheer, infectious joy of it," and she was spot on.

Apparently the meowing or other vocalizations may be part of the tune as it happens in  this video:

Here is a 3/2 tune.  I made the video for a project where the format changed so it wasn't used

Heard this a couple of days back.

Realized I'd hear it before :

This is a 6/4 tune written by Elaine Bradtke of Sound and Fury Morris and Sword. Besides the appeal of the triple time(for which I share a fondness akin to that for women who wear spectacles) it is  an English-style tune from the US morris tradition. It was written for Liz Savage of S&F.

A tune by Chris Wood who had a duo with Andy Cutting for many years.  Hipped to it (like many tunes lately) by John Spiers and his shed sessions.

From the manuscript book of the Welch family of Bosham, West Sussex, circa 1800. Heard it from John Spiers.

Here is Leveret's version:

And John Spiers's:

Reminded of this tune by Mick Phillips.
